like my mom raised me

You're a good man. So glad to hear from another gentleman that was taught well. I do the same thing but have also noticed that it sometimes gets no response... not that I want one. It's just my hope that when I do the small social graces that it will be noticed and perhaps passed along.
Some people these days seem to have had no upbringing at all. It is sad to think that many facets our society are 'dumbing' down.
